Enterprise Modeling & Simulation Engineer
About The Position
The Enterprise Modeling & Simulation Engineer works in The Aerospace Corporation’s Cross-Mission Effectiveness Department, within the Integrated Performance Subdivision of the Enterprise Effects Division. The department integrates modeling and simulation capabilities and modern analysis workflows to support end-to-end effects-chain analysis and space and space-enabled campaign modeling. The role provides technical capabilities for modeling, simulation, and analysis of space-, air-, and ground-based systems of systems, assessing architecture and concept-of-operations performance in nominal and contested environments. The position involves translating customer and program-office needs into modeling, simulation, and analysis tasks; developing software and modeling capabilities; and preparing, executing, and analyzing enterprise-level simulations. Focus areas include agent-based modeling, red-versus-blue simulations, military utility and capability drawdown, kill-chain effectiveness, enterprise architecture resiliency, and command-and-control evaluation. The role also contributes to team project delivery and presents findings to program offices and customers. Occasional travel may be required. This is a full-time, 100% onsite position in either El Segundo, California, or Chantilly, Virginia.
